So today we introduced PVA glue and the paint easel to our creative area and it's fair to say we have some budding artists! I think our going home boxes will be very full very soon!

F2 have thoroughly enjoyed learning all about Anansi the Spider. Today they began their Anansi artwork by using a watercolour resist technique🕷🎨. @HIAMrSmith @HIA_MissPatel

The globe has arrived and we are so excited! It has been lovely to see the children take ownership of the process and let their creative juices flow. We can’t wait to see the finished product 🌎🙌🏽 @TWR__org @HJAMissWatchorn

Was such a joy to see this upon leaving school today ❤️❤️❤️

We have loved reading the story; ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ by Eric Carle. Today the children painted their very own hungry caterpillars made from salt-dough 👏🏻🐛🦋💕

[HIANursery @HiaNursery]

We are really enjoying learning about the life cycle of a caterpillar 🐛
The children have been closely observing the caterpillars as they grow and today they were sleeping in their cocoons! 👀 I’m sure the children will be able to tell you at home what happens next… 🦋

[Mr Smith @HIAMrSmith]

Free Writing Friday was wonderful! The children had such an amazing afternoon letting their creativity shine! I am so proud of our little authors. One child told the story of Amelia Earhart imagining she flew on a dragon instead of a plane. Astounding! @CressidaCowell thank you!

[Mr Smith @HIAMrSmith]

'We are the Baddies and this is our castle!' Amazing creativity from the children of F2JS today! The girls built and labelled their very own villainous hideout, inspiring the other children to get building and writing. I couldn't move for castles! @Humboinfants @OdysseyTrust

[HIANursery @HiaNursery]

We have really enjoyed learning about growing and watching our bean plants grow. Each child has created their own bean plant diary & recorded the changes they have observed over the past few weeks. 🍃 🌱 🪴 💦 ☀️ @Humboinfants

1CN had so much fun doing Easter crafts this afternoon, our prize for winning best attendance in the infants. 🐰 @Humboinfants @HIA_Arts

[Humberstone Infant Arts @HIA_Arts]

Imaginative in everything we do! Creativity is a core principle of our school's ethos, and it is so inspiring to see it shining through in our children and their work! @Humboinfants

[Mrs woods @hiaMrsWoods40]

Love the imagination and creativity of F2JS today. A beautiful tree so birds will visit and a hide for us to watch the birds from. All made easy to get to with a fantastic bridge. #ottoblotterbirdspotter #birdwatching

[Miss Newman @MissNewmanYear2]

1CN had a fantastic #worldbookday2022 We really enjoyed reading Look Up! by Nathan Bryon. We made flyers to encourage people to come and watch the Phoenix Meteor Shower, and then we created meteor shower artwork! ☄️🌠🌌

Some amazing work here from our youngest creatives! Art is such a powerful tool for developing the imagination. I can almost feel the wind rustling through the branches of these trees!

[Mrs Radwan @HIAMrsRadwan]

"The wood was dark, the trees were tall .... today we have been using charcoal to recreate the scene! Drawing lines and using smudging techniques to represent the woods.🌳🌳

Amazing work 2SI! These are stunning! And it is so lovely to hear about the power of creativity from a pupil's perspective!

[Miss Simon @HIAMissSimon]

Yesterday 2SI drew some flowers from observation! The children said they enjoyed being creative and that art makes them feel calm, happy and relaxed! 🎨 ✍️ and of course took some flowers home! 😅🌸@Humboinfants @HIA_Arts @HIAMrSmith @HIAMrsBorthwick

[Humberstone Infant Arts @HIA_Arts]

This week in art club, we headed back out the the playground to create some stick sculptures!

'I made a dragon! I used sticks for the wings, and a leaf for the fire coming out of his mouth!'

[Humberstone Infant Arts @HIA_Arts]

This week in art club, we illustrated the playground using chalk. The children created some really beautiful art as always!

[Mrs Hurley @HIAMrsHurley]

F2 made some amazing Chinese dragons with play dough today ! @HIA_MissPatel @HIAMrSmith @HIAMissSylla

[Humberstone Infant Arts @HIA_Arts]

This week F2 have been experimenting with their creativity by making and using different shades of blue. It was lovely to see the joy in the room as they found new and exiting shades! 'Look! It's like I am painting with the sky!' @HIAMrSmith @Humboinfants

[Humberstone Infant Arts @HIA_Arts]

In this week's art club, the children took inspiration from Picasso to create their own unusual self portraits. It was amazing to see the way in which they took the idea and made it their own! I wonder what kind of masterpieces they will be making next week! @Humboinfants
